Release notes for VPP 16.09 =========================== Features -------- - `Integrated July 2016 DPDK release `__ - DPDK-vhost is depreciated pending a complete rework of the original integration and addressing of rx performance deltas. - Patches required for DPDK 16.07: - Correctly setting the Packet Type in the IGB, IXGBE and i40e drivers. - Correctly setting checksum in the i40e driver. - NXP DPAA2 PMD Driver. - rte_delay (yield) functionality. - Add “in tree” plugins: - IPv6 ILA. - iOAM. - Load Balancer. - SNAT. - High-performance (line-rate) “neutron like” L4 port-filtering. - API refactoring - addressing some of the issues around JVPP bindings. - Accommodating plugins `(e.g. NSH_SFC) `__ - Binding for `python `__ - LISP - L2 LISP overlays - Multitenancy - Multihoming - RTR mode - Map-resolver failover algorithm - Support 64-bit vector lengths, huge shared-memory segments. - Dynamic IP Feature ordering - IP Features can now specify features they appear before and after - 16.09 Builds - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Trusty Tahr - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Xenial Xerus - CentOS 7 - More information on `VPP wiki `__ - Performance, characterize and document performance for this release `(more information on CSIT page) `__ - IPv4 and IPv6 Scale - performance tests. - Bidirectional 10k/100k/1M flows. - 64B,570B, 1518B,9000B packet sizes. - IPv6 iACL - performance - DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with IPv6 routing, two static IPv6 /64 routes and IPv6 iAcl security whitelist ingress /64 filter entries applied on links. - TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv6 header and generated payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces. - L2XC VXLANoIPv4 - performance - DUT1 and DUT2 are configured with L2 cross-connect. VXLAN tunnels are configured between L2XCs on DUT1 and DUT2. - TG traffic profile contains two L3 flow-groups (flow-group per direction, 253 flows per flow-group) with all packets containing Ethernet header, IPv4 header with IP protocol=61 and generated payload. MAC addresses are matching MAC addresses of the TG node interfaces. - Documentation - Autogenerated CLI documentation. - Using doxygen to automate API/Node documentation. - `(available online) `__ - Resolved all static analysis issues found by Coverity - Beginning of 16.09 cycle: 505 issues. - Release: 0 outstanding issues.
